The new poll asks what man currently ranked in the MLE top 13 is most likely to finish in the Nathan's finals top 3. The race for third place should be wide open after Tim "Eater X" Janus announced his retirement.

    Definitely Geoff. After that I will have to say Stephanie Wu. She is such a pro. Oh, and famous. How embarrassing.

    Why would Wu be in MLE? She’s famous on her own. That contract insults her. It would interfere with the great things she does for the sport. Absolutely great. Wu can conquer almost 4 lbs without crying now.

    What are Erik and Juan doing in that poll? Denmark can’t even beat an 80 year old man and hot dogs are his best discipline. 45 pancakes! How pathetic!

    Or the poll should ask which non-top 20 eater will once again not make the Nathan’s finals for the 20th year straight.

    Feel proud to fake your way into Nathans finals only to be placed at the end of the table where nobody notices your last place finish?. Quite an accomplishment. Pitiful if you ask me

    Cheating in CE is okay as long as you are well loved and do it with a 🙂

    What I don’t understand is why there is someone on here whining about another eater “supposedly” cheating his way into Nathans and then being placed on the end where nobody sees him YET that same person has been trying to qualify for many years to get into the same July 4th finals in which he too would be placed at the end where nobody would see notice him. Doesn’t make sense to me. Oh Brian!

    Its because the cheater cannot stop his obsession with the person who has not made to the finals. In the rare times the jealous crybaby was waitlisted for other events he made these whining threats “AICE here i come”

    i have two questions Now that Janus quit MLE what on earth is he going to do with his life? Move up in the pizza making business? It seemed that his passion for competitive eating was far beyond those of mortal men. My second question . Will Conti throw Janus out of his gorgeous Greenwich village loft and search for a new tenant now that Janus wants nothing to do with MLE?
